Collision
Important Questions on Collision
Explain elastic and inelastic collision. Obtain equations governing elastic collision in one-dimension and solve for final velocities of two colliding particles considering one particle to be at rest before collision.

A metal ball of mass moving with a speed of has a head-on collision with a stationary ball of mass . If after collision, both the balls move together, find the loss in kinetic energy due to collision.

A body of mass moving with a velocity of collides with another body of mass at rest and comes to rest. Find the velocity of the second body.

A plastic ball is dropped from a height of and rebounds several times from the floor. If elapsed from the moment it is dropped to the second impact with the floor, what is the coefficient of restitution?

A ball is dropped from a height on a horizontal surface. It bounces up and down and finally comes to rest in time . Show that
where is the time taken for the first fall and is the coefficient of restitution.

A block of mass moving at a speed collides with another block of mass at rest. The lighter block comes to rest after collision. What is the coefficient of restitution?

A particle is dropped on a surface from is height of . If the coefficient of restitution is What is the total distance covered by the particle before coming to rest.

A light body moving in a straight line with a velocity of , makes a head on collision with a very heavy body at rest. What are the velocities after collision?

A very heavy body moving with a velocity of makes a head-on collision with a very light body at rest. What are the velocities of two bodies after collision?

In elastic collision what are conserved?
